I just started building a Tau army. Actually, it will be the first W40k army I ever fielded. I used to play Fantasy back in the early ninties.

Like I said, I haven’t actually played yet, but I’ve read a bunch of tactics and battle reports. I don’t think that Deep Strike should phase a Tau player too much. If it does, then the Tau player is fucked because he will most certainly scatter his forces away in a panic.

Yeah, the closer opne is a Chaos Marine. Looks like he has a power or force sword and a bolter. So it could be a Choas Sorcerer. The other is a Choas Terminator with a power fist. It really doesn’t look like an Obliterator ( don’t see other weapons sticking out of him ).

To give tiki a little credit, Terminator armor is also known as Tactical Dreadnaught Armor. Its original purpose was to serve as an intermediary between the more durable dreadnaughts and the lighter suits of power armor. An additional bonus is that you don’t have to be entombed in terminator armor.

Actually, the Tactical Dreadnaught Armor (or Terminator Armor) evolved from utility suits worn in plasma forges. Basically, fancy factory worker gear. Ironically, That same armor will not do well against plasma-based weapons. Better than wearing power armor, but still.

As much I love the chaos and madness of WH40K, that giant gattling gun makes no human and phisical sense. I mean, one shot of it can destroy a tank. So, why make it gatling? Spinning up that thing probably takes 30 second. Also, I bet the heatup is so big (even with the spinning) that you could only shoot like 6 rounds. Which is more than enought.

Actually Hep, I’d have to disagree. One bad thing about the big guns used on naval battleships is their long reload time. The ability to unload round after round with a virtually insignificant reload time would be a great advantage in battle.

Also, I wouldn’t worry about heat, with six huge barrels cycling, the barrels should not get any hotter than if they were being reloaded manually.

After all, you really wouldn’t need to get a Gatling gun ROF out of something like this, one round every half second would be more than enough to rain a rather terminal level of devastation upon your foes…

The big guy facing us with the spikes and holding the flag I’m pretty sure is chaos. Tho now that u mention it, he distracted me from the rest, and due to the lack of horns on the helmets (among other features) the army is not Chaos… Which brings up the question, what then hell are they all doing? lol

I love to roleplay WH40k. I am the holy inquisitor who has dedicated his life to upholding the will of the Emperor of Mankind and my girlfriend is the naughty heretic that must be purged from the Imperium lest it fall from within.
